The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs awarded a $2,499,452 Project Grant under the Energy and Mineral Development Program (CFDA 15.038) to Cook Inlet Region, Inc. (CIRI) to conduct Phase 3 of the Farewell Mineral Exploration Program. The project will focus on a targeted diamond drilling campaign at the Midway prospect, a high-priority area identified through earlier exploration efforts involving geologic mapping, surface sampling, and geophysical analysis. The funding will support field mobilization, drilling, core logging and analysis, data interpretation, and the development of technical reports and marketing materials. If the initial drilling results and budget allow, a reconnaissance-level drill test may also be conducted at the secondary 6120 target. This grant aims to evaluate the subsurface mineralization at the Farewell project site, which contains mineralized zones with the potential to help address the U.S. need for secure, domestic sources of critical minerals such as copper, zinc, and silver.
